Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said “the impeachment battle is not one that I think we could win,” but he said he would support impeachment proceedings should someone else bring them up.

“I wouldn’t initiate them myself, although it is clearly unconstitutional,” Massie said of conducting a war in Syria without a specific authorization. “I’m just not the guy who will be leading this charge.”

So brave, I don't have the words to describe it.

If those mystery Russian Antiship missiles take out one of our ships I think you could see a lot of people in the streets.

No. :-(

Not with the press on his side and the republicans afraid of their own shadows.

Yes, both Gnome Chomsky and Ralph Nader will hold their breath and stop eating for several days.

Congress critters draw an even more feeble line in the sand than the Obama child.

Since the Syrian rebels don't have enough power to overthrow Assad's government, we have to take care of that for them, so we can have another country controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood on Israel's border. What better cover than a chemical attack by the Syrian government would Obama need?

Make no mistake. The ultimate objective is the destruction of Israel.

“If Obama Bypasses Congress on Syria, Will He Face Consequences?”

Not with this Congress. When I think of Boehner all I can say is, “Squish”

Consequences for Obama if he bypasses Congress and attacks Syria?

Let's see:
Republicans in the House: Boehner and Cantor — None.
Democrats in the House: Pelosi and Hoyer — None.
Republicans in the Senate: McConnell — None.
Democrats in the Senate: Reid — None.
MSM — None.

American people — screwed.

Why not just go to Congress like President Bush did for Iraq? I believe he would get the votes to go to Syria so it is a win/win for Obama.

Being courageous is something this guy will never be accused of.

further evidence of the success of the "sissification of America"

(202) 225-3465 in case anyone wants to thank this brave guy.

Boehner might cry into his pillow, but that’s about it.

Zer0’s complete incompetence will be a disaster for America. If you have read the following before, you are seeing words I believe are worth repeating:

Moscow has suggested that the gas attack may have been done by the al-Qaeda seeking to inflame the West against the Assad regime. Until we know exactly who caused the gas attack, we had better stay out of it.

There are even reports suggesting that sarin gas came from NATO backed rebels to frame the Syrian government in order to build support for a NATO invasion. If that is true, we have an effort by the Obama Syndicate to deceive Congress and the American public. That would be an impeachable offense.

Obama could nuke Kansas and strafe any survivors- no one will do a thing.

Well maybe a few sternly written posts on some obscure dying websites filed with aged dying members.

He knows his opposition is the weakest generation this nation has yet produced.

He will face consequences allright, but not from our Congress. If he doesn’t get a coalition from many other countries before he takes action, there will be hell to pay.
